Key Components for Integrating Payment Links
To generate a Payment Link within your checkout flow, you need to work with three essential components:
1. Creating a Product Object
A Product in SpherePay represents an item or service that you are selling. You first need to create a product in SpherePay before associating it with a price.
📌 API Reference: SpherePay Product API
Example Request to Create a Product:
POST https://api.spherepay.co/v2/product
{
"name": "Premium Subscription",
"description": "Access to exclusive content",
"metadata": {
"category": "Subscription"
}
}
2. Creating a Price Object
A Price determines how much a product costs and in what currency. It is directly linked to a Product and can support various pricing models, including one-time payments and subscriptions.
📌 API Reference: SpherePay Price API
Example Request to Create a Price:
POST https://api.spherepay.co/v2/price
{
"product": "product_id",
"currency": "USD",
"amount": 1000,
"billingScheme": "per_unit"
}
Note: Replace "product_id" with the actual ID of the product you created.
3. Creating a Payment Link
Once you have the Product and Price set up, you can use the Price ID to generate a Payment Link. This link will take customers to a checkout page where they can complete their payment.
📌 API Reference: SpherePay Payment Link API
Example Request to Create a Payment Link:
POST https://api.spherepay.co/v2/paymentLink
{
"priceId": "price_id",
"successUrl": "https://yourwebsite.com/success",
"cancelUrl": "https://yourwebsite.com/cancel"
}
After making the request, the API response will return a URL. You can then redirect the customer to this Payment Link to complete their purchase.
How Product and Price Works
The Product and Price structure in SpherePay is designed to give businesses flexibility in how they sell goods and services. A Product serves as the foundational object, while a Price determines the associated cost.
